1. 'Harold and Maude' Woohoo!!

has there ever been a more perfectly written and acted quirky love story! That's not to mention the perfectly written score by Cat Stevens- Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort were superbly cast. This is a real gem, and doesn't really get a lot of airplay anymore; I'm so glad to see it on tonight's schedule!

Hey CBH- you have been posting some killer Halloween pictures! I love them- :hi:

2. Thanks! I love Halloween.

I've been on a roll lately, mainly because I discovered some copyright-free nostalgic Halloween pictures recently. Last night I went a little wild making Halloween cards, and it was nice to have some new art to insert on the front of the cards.

But of course a little Snape -- or is it Alan Rickman? -- is desirable any time of year, and especially at Halloween.

3. I swear

is Alan Rickman hot or what???????? I recently saw 'Snow Cake' which he starred in with Sigourney Weaver. He was great in that too! and yes, he's good in anything, anyTIME.

4. All I can add to that picture is a sigh.
